If you successfully solve the question, you would receive 2 marks.
If you failed to solve the question, and you do not try it ( let it untouched ) , you would receive 0 marks. If you solve it wrong ( i.e. not the correct answer ) - you would receive -1 ( negative) .
With the story, here are the problems:
1. Write an algorithm, which, given an input array ( set ) of questions, and varying probability ( 0 <= p <= 1 ) of can do and can not do per question, generates a strategy for solving the paper to generate maximum expected pay off.
2. Given the question paper is multiple choice, between 4 choices ( a,b,c,d ) do a bias analysis ( e.g. if more a's are coming than 'c's ), and decide if you would like to probabilistically take risk and mark some to increase pay off.
Obviously, you can get a maximum 40, and a minimum -20.
3. Now, put yourself in the position of the examiner, and try to ensure it is almost impossible to increase payoff by random selection over the questions. Try to negate the bias. That is question 3.
In all 3 cases write an algorithm. Face to face interview, time allocated was 60 minutes. Panel Interview.| Report Duplicate | Flag | PURGE
